Very nice simulation to use when the school doesn't have a good collection of optics equipment. The students like the interchangeability of the features. The screen is a bit small but it is workable. It is also good to use in lecture as a demonstration.
Used in course? Yes

A very useful applet to visualize ray diagrams for lenses and mirrors. Useful as a teaching aid or for study or reference.

Outstanding applet, with a lot of user interactivity. I wish the viewing area was larger, however.
